In depth
Verdict
Boheidel will be all the rage here for the Pipe/McCoy combination. A German import, the stable will have him spot on here for his hurdling debut and the Dashing Blade entire is the TEAMtalk selection. Sossus Vlei has the best racecourse form though is still a maiden. Although his appearance at the Cheltenham Festival was a shade optimistic, he had deserved to run following a couple of good efforts at Newbury and Kempton. He should give the selection most to do. Danton has some useful bits of Flat form and if taking to the jumping game should go well. Table Mountain had some very useful bumper form a couple of years ago though obviously has had problems. Any market moves for him would be significant.
